Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[toaster]

I love I create hold. I’ve been wearing my hair curly for the last year and a half and this has become one of my staple products. It smooths my hair really well and has a nice soft hold.

Hiiii! I’ll be sitting through the wash and go thread trying to pick up tips. I’m hopeful my stylist has some suggestions but as soon as I realized I was trying something new with my hair I knew I needed LHCF back.

I learned a lot about getting my wash n go working from following @iamblackgirlcurls. Their personalities are a little brusque, but they have solid information.

Did you join the digital salon? I’m considering it...

Wet styling is not for my hair. I don't know why I keep trying to make it work. When styled dry or slightly damp; I get more definition, shine, and smoothness. From now on, I'm going to stop being dumb and stick with what I know works.

I joined for a few months last summer. It was definitely helpful, but also a little cult like. I rejoined for a month earlier this year just to see if there was anything new they were teaching.

I had to google it and it looks interesting. I wonder if it’s going to be the next big natural hair thing like chebe was.

@LavenderMint I think it is the next big thing a lot of folks are catching on,I know it’s gives great slip.

Happy Hair Growing!

The cream? No! The hyaluronic acid serum.... probably.

I’m using the Allies of Skin hyaluronic acid serum and hoping it’s just as good since it’s 1/3 of the price.

Thank you!!! Hyaluronic for darker skin tones or the regular one?

Darker skin tones!

I also had a FAB facial at her store in NYC in February. I'd have another, but we can't get facials yet here.

The only thing I didnt like is my hair was squeaky clean. What Im going to do when I get time is, mix the liquid with rhassoul .

A few months ago I decided to stop coloring my hair and embracing my greys. When with each week, it feels like it is showing up more and more as the color is washed out of my hair. I now realize I need to learn how to care for my "new" head of hair. Right now I have a lot of breakage with the line of demarcation of old colored hair and grey hair meet. I am confident I will figure the right products to use and continue to grow out a lash head of grey hair.

I tried that over hyped color wow dream coat and I’m not impressed. It’s marketed as a mini keratin treatment that lasts up to 4 shampoos. Supposedly your hair will be immune to humidity during this time. It was easy to apply, didn’t smell like anything, was watery, and my hair was difficult to detangle after my blow dry. I gave the bottle to my friend with 2c, 3b hair. My 4b coils were not having it.

I've decided on a loctician. Fingers crossed it all goes well. I admit one of the main draws was that she said I absolutely did not have to cut 5 inches (YES FIVE) of hair to begin. Also I think she does good work with delicate edges, so here's me hoping for the best (and that I don't chicken out).

 

[Prettymetty]

Me and babygirl. She saw me reaching for the kanekalon and she sighed. So I put it back and braided her freshly cowashed hair. It’s holding up pretty well.

Last night I massaged my scalp with coffee and fenugreek oil and lightly sprayed my hair with a rice water + leave in mix before 'setting' it for bed. Today I styled it in a bun with a loose braid in the front.

I've been umming and ahh-ing between braiding my hair down as is- semi straight (to go under a wig) or washing it before hand. Writing it down, I may just wash and condition tomorrow as think my hair does need some replenishment before I put it away.

Sigh it just dawned on me the end of the year is nearly here. I haven’t been doing anything with my hair. Bought some powders to start mixing and doing treatments and some MSM.
If you see old post being bumped for info it’s likely me

Some of these YouTubers could use a nice shape up type cut.

And they need to include shipping when they talk about prices if the item can't be found otg.

I... Kev On Stage talks about “locs”. When I had locs, I began to have real issues with straight hair people having them too and this is a big part of why.

Last night i dreamed that i was taking out crochet braids and accidentally cut half of my hair down to 4-5 inches. Thank God it was just a dream. My hair grows too slow to be chopping it off all the time

 

[VictoriousBrownFlower]

I just put my hair in twists and it feels so good to be back with my old friend the protective style. I think i'm gonna do this until coronas over to see how much thickness and growth i can get in that time. It's almost fall anyway so why not hide my hair.

 

[vevster]

I am beginning to think my hair works best with more strengthening deep conditioners as opposed to ones that focus on moisture.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I think I found some old formulas of Infusium 23. I don’t remember who used to like it, but here’s a picture for old times sake

sorry y’all idk why these pictures keep coming out sideways now. I keep resizing them and they’re still sideways.

I don’t know who here posted about You Go Naturals and their head wraps but thank you I am loving the turbans and I’m about to try a pre-tied bun wrap.

 

[icsonia22]

idk what's up with all these hair nightmares. Must be pregnancy. Last night i dreamed i only texlaxed random sections of my hair and left the rest natural.

That was probably me lol. You’re welcome
I personally prefer the t-shirt wraps over the turbans. It’s probably because my face shape is more suited to the t-shirt bun style lol. I like their headbands too.

I think I want to buy a heat brush,to lightly dry my hair for winter styles.

Happy Hair Growing!

I don’t know what’s been up with me during this pandemic. Typically I can barely leave my hair alone in a protective style for more than three weeks lol. Now, I’ve been in nonstop braids and twists since almost March and I’m going to try to force myself to give my hair a longer break.

I’ve honestly just been doing a day or two in between just to DC and redo the styles, and I don’t see any ill effects on my hair. Still, I’m going to force myself to take a break and bun for about two weeks. I also need a trim. When I push past every 8-10 weeks, I have nothing but drama with these fine ends.

Congratulations!! Wishing you a happy, healthy pregnancy!

What are people sleeping in nowadays? Bonnets? Silk scarves? Silk pillowcases?

Silk scarf on a silk pillowcase. My head slips and slides around a lot.

Satin pillowcase as a back up plan, just in case my bonnet or scarf don’t make it on my head. In fact, I think it’s good for my edges to not have the tension of the scarf or bonnet at night sometimes.
